LATEST TURF GOSSIP FROM SARATOGA Trainer Simons Will Pit Joliren Against Sun Briar at One Kile and a Quarter or Over By Ed Cole ColeSaratoga Saratoga X Y August 22 It is highly im ¬ probable there will be a special race between the star threeyearolds and horses of more mature years unless W S Kilmer consents to make the distance a mile and a quarter or a mile and a half In speaking on the subject Albert Simons said he would enter Johren against Sun Rriar or any other horse at a mile and a quarter or have two races one at a mile and a quarter and another at a mile and a half and make the entrance fee any amount suitable to the owners I will be willing to put up any reasonable entrance fee said Mr Simons from 000 upward To run a horse a mile or even a mile and an eighth is not a real test for a highclass horse The horse of today is one that will display botli speed and endurance and that should be the object of a race between the sup ¬ posed best horses of the year If Jir Kilmer or anyone else wishes such a contest there will be little trouble to perfect arrangements arrangementsSome Some iKrsons are under the impression that horses claimed by Max Ilirsch an taken on behalf of Congressman George W Loft Such is not the case said the congressman Mr Ilirsch is a public trainer and he acts as his employers dictate I have never claimed a horse since I have owned horses and have never been interested in any that have been claimed claimedRoamors Roamors greai feat of running a mile in ISl f did not injure him in any way He was jumping around like a twoyearold this morning said Mr Miller his owner and he went to his feed box as if lie had only been out for an airing If he never runs another race in has earned a life of ease and I am going to see that he gets it if it takes the last dollar I have It is probable he will start on Saturday in the Merchants and Citizens Handicap but it not in that race he will go in the Saratoga Cup CupAccording According to Broadway reports there will be plenty of long distance nices on the Marvlaml tracks and it is probable that during the autumn meetings around New York there will IK two or three races a week at a mile and a quarter or farther fartherNEW NEW STABLE TO ENTER SPORT SPORTA A new firm of horse owners to IMS known as the Beacli Stable will IK in operation next year It will be a partnership of three and U F Carman will have charge of the establishment The nucleus for the stable has already been secured in the pur ¬ chase of about a dozen yearlings More will bt ac ¬ quired when opportunity is presented 5 5I I dont know how many horses we shall have to start with said Mr Carman but there will be a sufficient number to build upon Ijiter tin string may develop into one of the largest in the country as tins owners are a wealthy set of men who want the best of everything everythingAll All the yearlings purchased so far will be broken and educated at the old Kenning track Washington and prepared for a spring campaign Kenning is a wonderful track for winter quarters In fact any point in that neighborhood is good Horses sharpen up well in the Washington climate and come to hand early for the spring meetings in Maryland By the time we go into winter quarters I expect to have at least twenty yearlings that will race in the name of the Reach Stable StablePossibly Possibly the most productive stable here com ¬ pared with the number of horses it contains is that of P A Clark trained by W Hogan Only about six horses are la the string but the majority of them are good ones including Dunboyne Battle and Lion dOr It is rarely that a stable of six horses contains so much wealth in horseflesi Each of these horses has more than earned its expenses this additionsI season with prosnects of greater additions I dont want any more than six horses to look after said Hogan It is just a good handful and enough for one man to manage successfully Uun boyne may not be the champion youngster of the year but it is going to take a mighty fast horse to Ixat him when lie lias fair racing luck and as for Lion dOr lie is getting better every day I have had some good horses in my time but I dont think as well as those I have today
